The stands in this pair are designed in a spare interpretation of the Empire style. Each stand features a square veined grey marble plateau above an encompassing wooden apron. The apron and plateau are supported by four square-profile ormolu legs, the legs joined below with an encompassing wooden band, with each leg terminating in an ormolu paw foot. The voids between each of the legs are filled with X-form patinated bronze stretchers, each X centred with an ormolu rosette.
